Can we use a thermos bottle to detect cosmic rays?
Some people think that this is the case. This cool
project comes from
University of Mainz. What is required
to build this detector is an old fashioned thermos bottle
(the one with glass inside) and a photomultiplier. Fill the
bottle with (distilled) water and voila!.
Relativistic particles
produce Cherenkov light in water and the light produced
detected and amplified by the photomultiplier. Some people
claim that Aspirin enhances light output.
